Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 29: A priest?
Eunuch Mei said stunned, "Your Highness, no, this... this will cause chaos, people's hearts..."
Xia Ji's expression changed, but in a blink of an eye he smiled and said, "You teach me again?"
Eunuch Mei was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said repeatedly: "Old slave dare not, old slave dare not."
And because of the token, the other 100 dead men carried out the task without hesitation, drew their swords expressionlessly, and then walked out.
Xia Ji added another sentence: "Let's take the lead in capturing them alive, and then execute them in a short time. One thousand knives, not less at a time. If they are missing, make up for it."
A sullen look flashed in the eyes of the dead soldiers, "Yes, Master!"
...
The movement here quickly attracted the attention of the "mob". They didn't know that disaster was coming. In this case, anyone with a little bit of means knew that they must not kill, otherwise people would lose heart and fuel the fire.
Therefore, a strange voice of yin and yang resounded in the crowd: "His Royal Highness was blessed by the Buddha and saved the imperial capital. Now, His Highness can't abandon the people in the city..."
Before he finished speaking, a dead man had already arrived. He pinched his cheeks, pulled out his tongue and cut it directly. After all, the master said that it would cost a thousand knives, and this was the first knife.
This situation made everyone stunned, so some people hid their bodies, hid in the crowd and shouted "His Royal Highness is crazy, actually killing us and other innocent people..."
"Xia Ji is enchanted, he doesn't care about our lives at all."
"Xia Ji is cruel and inhumane. He is no longer blessed by the Buddha."
"It's him, that is, he refuses to open the warehouse to put food, and refuses to help us!"
No matter how much they hide, the people who speak will soon be pulled out by the dead soldiers. They cut their tongues and click on the acupuncture points of the body, but the dumb acupoints are empty. Killed by a knife.
Among the refugees, there were also those who really wanted to riot and fish in troubled waters, but under the glance of the Seventh Prince of the Great Shang, no one dared to move any more. There was a regretful and painful cry from the bridge behind him, and the people were trembling with fear. .
As the troublemakers felt cold in their hearts and minds, they hurriedly dispersed.
The princess lowered her hands and walked to Xia Ji's side, her eyes were already crying like peaches.
Xia Ji touched her long soft hair and wiped her tears with the back of his hand.
Xia Xiaosu murmured, "Brother, I'm sorry... I caused you trouble."
Xia Ji showed a gentle smile, "It's not your fault, just don't come by yourself next time, let the maids set up a porridge shop, and you stay in the palace to read more books."
"Yeah!"
While the two of them were talking, the sound of fighting suddenly came from the direction of the execution bridge.
Xia Ji's expression turned cold, and he patted the princess on the shoulder, "Come with me."
Xia Xiaosu followed in her brother's footsteps closely, and several guards did not dare to follow, just cleaning up the mess on the side. Xia Xiaosu glanced at the crowd on the road. In fact, most of the refugees did not follow him. It looked so pitiful and pitiful, standing aside at a loss, so she softened and shouted: "Come back in the evening, there is still porridge."
This time, no one said anything like "false benevolence and false justice". Many refugees couldn't help but raised their eyes. He smiled, but when he saw Xia Ji, he lowered his head in fear.
The two walked across the street, rounded the corner, and stopped.
Xia Ji watched the fight on the bridge, where many dead men were surrounding a monk.
The dead soldiers were not unruly, and the swords were fierce, but the monk just dismissed one after another attack, and the dead soldiers fell into the water during the provocation of the Zen staff.
The monk looked around at the dead soldiers who were still tortured, and suddenly raised his voice and recited the phrase "Amitabha Buddha". Blood flowed from the ears.
"The poor monk is sad and empty, you treat innocent people like this, why don't you let go?"
But the dead men don't listen to the monks at all. They are dead men, and what Xia Ji explained must be done.
However, when the monk was named, there was an uproar from all around.
"It's the sad and empty monk of Leiyin Temple!"
"The gods and monks are merciful. Walking in the capital at this time must be to save the suffering."
"Master of Sadness!"
The voices come and go.
Many people showed hope and anticipation.
Bei Kong stood at the head of the bridge holding a black meditation stick, his pupils were neither happy nor sad, swept over the dead man who had never stopped, and suddenly said angrily: "The Buddha has compassion and anger, and he is stubborn and inflexible. subject to..."
After saying this, he suddenly raised his Zen staff, his momentum rose, and the sound of the word "shou" got higher and higher, obviously preparing to launch a sound-type attack.
He was not able to activate this method, because Xia Ji had already stood under the bridge and asked, "What should I suffer?"
Bei Kong recognized the person, gave a one-handed salute, and said, "Seventh Highness."
Xia Ji stepped down, the two were ten feet apart, and he bowed back, "Master Beikong."
Sad Kong said: "His Royal Highness played chess with my senior brother on Mount Sumeru, and broke through the sea of bitterness. It can be seen that Your Highness has a great Buddha affinity. Why not cut off three thousand vexation threads and escape into the empty door?"
Xia Ji asked, "How about my relatives?"
Sad Kong said: "If you become a monk, you will no longer have a home."
Xia Ji: "What about blood feuds?"
Sad Kong: "All things are impermanent, people are born and die, the so-called blood feud of His Highness is just one step into the cycle of reincarnation."
Xia Ji: "Then what are you doing?"
"Saving people", sadly said, "Though these people have taken advantage of their words, they are still innocent, and this punishment is enough, so I am here to save them.
Although Your Highness has a Buddhist fate, but he is also trapped by an earthly relationship. The old man came here to persuade His Highness not to enter the devil~IndoMTL.com~ So I also came to save His Highness. "
Xia Ji: "Where were you when the ghost party invaded? After the ghost party retreated and starved to death, where were you? Now I've only captured a few mobs who were instructed, and you showed up and said that you want to Save them, and say you want to save me...Are you worthy?"
Bei Kong was not angry, chanted the Buddha's name, and then said lightly: "Your Highness was blessed by the Buddha, and together with the guards of the city fought off the ghost side, this is an act of merit, if you insist on killing a few at this time. People whose sins will not die, then they have entered the devil's way, is it worth it?"
Xia Ji asked back, "Why do people need to save these mobs?"
Compassion Kong: "The monks are merciful, and of course they must be saved."
Xia Ji: "If you want to save people, you will hurt them."
Sad Kong: "The means of hurting people are cruel, that is, they have entered the devil's way, and if they enter the devil's way, the old man is not hurting people."
Xia Ji: "What is that?"
Sad Kong: "Purge their sins."
As soon as the words were finished, Xia Ji couldn't help laughing, and then sarcastically said: "Master Beikong is worthy of being a **** and monk, and he is full of nonsense, which makes people feel ridiculous and hypocritical."
Sad Kong sighed lightly, "Does Your Highness really want to go his own way and enter this demonic way?"
Xia Ji was not angry, looked at the world, and suddenly said: "Master, look at the lake in this imperial capital, why are there various reflections in the water?"
Sad sky looked sideways, and then replied: "Just because there are trees on the shore, clouds in the sky, boats in the lake, and bridges on the water, all things in the world will be projected on this lake, and naturally there will be reflections."
Xia Jidao: "Since the master knows, then you keep talking about the way of the devil, the devil, the brutal method, and the stubbornness. I don't know where these reflections come from?!"
Sad Kong was stunned for a moment, unable to answer.
